Description
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a scraper apparatus used to break up soil and to dig ditches.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
During building construction and landscaping, the need arises to lay underground pipelines and conduits. The trenches are frequently long and can be as deep as required. During the trenching, several different soil compositions can be encountered, including hardpan strata which a regular backhoe bucket is unable to break up and will simply slide over. Similarly, while contouring a land area for utility trenches or other purposes, the composition of the soil can go from loose soil to hardpan, resulting in high and low areas, Larger tractor equipment can overcome this difference in soil composition but is not practical from a cost aspect, or if the area is limited in size.
Accordingly, the above problems and difficulties associated with trenching multi-composition soil and the use of large tractors in confined areas can be overcome by the novel backhoe scraper apparatus of the present invention. A scraper roller is mounted in a backhoe bucket in parallel alignment with a bucket scraping edge that is operated by hydraulic pressure. The roller is attached to supporting bearings at each end and is covered with a plurality of radially extending replaceable cutting surfaces around its circumference. Attached to one end of the roller is a drive mechanism which extends the length of the bucket and is coupled to a hydraulic motor mounted near the bucket to the boom pivot attachment point. The hydraulic motor is fluid coupled for connecting into a hydraulic power system of the tractor. The drive mechanism is covered by a detachable protective shield. Rotation of the roller, assisted when necessary with the downward pressure provided by the backhoe hydraulic piston assembly and the partial weight of the tractor, results in the scraping of a uniform width trench.
Therefore, it is the primary object of the present invention to provide a backhoe tractor bucket for scraping trenches in a construction excavation utilizing the hydraulic system of the backhoe tractor system. Another object of the present invention is to allow trench digging in hardpan soil areas, utilizing a small backhoe tractor where normally a large heavy scraper would be required and yet which may not be suitable to the confined space.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a novel scraper where the scraping teeth can be replaced as they wear or as the composition of the soil varies.
Another object is to provide a novel ground working apparatus having revolving earth preparation elements immediately ahead of a scraper edge leading into a backhoe bucket whereby hard and difficult soil can be readily excavated.
A further object resides in employing ground condition elements revolving ahead of a backhoe scraping edge so that the ground is initially broken immediately prior to scraping and pickup by the backhoe bucket.
The features of the present invention which are believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The present invention, both as to its organization and manner of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood with reference to the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
A more complete understanding of the invention may be had by referring to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings herein.
FIG. 1 is a pictorial view of the backhoe scraper of the present invention mounted on a backhoe tractor.
FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of the backhoe scraper.
FIG. 3 is a side view of the backhoe scraper of FIG. 2.
The backhoe bucket cavity is illustrated in FIG. 1 as having an open cavity facing forward; however, the cavity may open facing the driver or rearwardly as well.
Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, a backhoe scraper apparatus 1 incorporating the present invention is illustrated which includes a cylindrical roller 3 connected to a backhoe bucket 2 by means of roller axially mounted bearings 8 and 9 which mount to the backhoe bucket 2 at attachment plates 6 and 7. The attachment plates 6 and 7 are thick steel plates which are attached to the sides of the backhoe bucket and serve as a mounting surface for the roller axially mounted bearings 8 and 9. Extending radially from the roller 3 are a plurality of steel cutting teeth 4 which are attached to the roller 3 by means of holding devices 5 which allow individual tooth replacement due to wear or breakage. The roller 3 has a turning axis parallel to a scraping edge 24 of the bucket extending between parallel sides defining a storage cavity.
The motor drive coupling 12 is attached to a hydraulic motor 14 which is mounted to the backhoe bucket by a bracket 21 in the area where the backhoe bucket attaches to the tractor boom. The hydraulic motor 14 has a hydraulic high pressure coupling 15 which attaches to a hydraulic hose 17 that terminates in a hydraulic coupling 19 directly connected into the tractor hydraulic high pressure system. The hydraulic motor 14 has a hydraulic return pressure coupling 16 which attaches to a hydraulic hose 18 which terminates in a hydraulic coupling 20 which connects to the tractor hydraulic return system.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cylindrical roller 3 is a solid steel bar which will not distort when the holding devices 5 are welded to the roller. The holding devices 5 can accept various width cutting teeth 4 made of carbide steel or other materials heat treated to achieve any desired hardness. The axially mounted bearings 8 and 9 are of pressed bearing construction which slide over the ends of the roller 3. The bearings are a pressed fit on side plates 6 and 7. Attachment plates 6 and 7 are 1 inch thick in order that no deterioration occurs during bearing installation and that the bearings are fully supported. The attachment plates 6 and 7 are attached to the sides of the backhoe bucket by bolts; the attachment plates alignment in the backhoe bucket results in the cylinder roller 3 being located near the cutting edge 24 of the backhoe bucket in parallel spaced-apart relationship.
The motor drive coupling 10 is slid axially over cylindrical roller 3 and is a pressed fit to the roller. The motor drive coupling 10 consists of a gear whose teeth will engage the links of a drive mechanism 11 consisting of a linked roller chain. The motor drive coupling 10 consists of a gear whose teeth will engage the links of the drive mechanism and which is attached to the hydraulic motor central shaft. The motor drive coupling 10, the drive mechanism 11, and the motor drive coupling 12 are encased in a four-sided protective cover 13, made out of 1/4 inch metal. The protective cover attaches to the side of the backhoe bucket, which forms two more sides to the protective cover, totally enclosing the drive mechanism from exposure to soil and debris.
The hydraulic motor 14 is a commerically available drive motor which is mounted to a bracket welded to the backhoe bucket. The drive motor has a high pressure input port which accepts the high pressure coupling 15. The high pressure coupling has an integral hydraulic hose which terminates in a quick release hydraulic coupling 19 which attaches to the backhoe tractor hydraulic system. The drive motor has a hydraulic pressure return port which accepts the hydraulic return pressure coupling 16. The hydraulic return pressure coupling has an integral hydraulic hose which terminates in a quick release hydraulic coupling 20 which connects to the backhoe tractor hydraulic return system.
FIG. 1 shows the backhoe scraper in the scraping position. The backhoe tractor is placed in position to begin scraping a trench. The scoop bucket is lowered and the outriggers 22 are used to balance the tractor. The trust piston 23 is extended to apply downward pressure on the scraper as the cylindrical roller 3 begins scraping. The soil which is broken loose due to the cutting action of the scraper teeth 4 and the pressure applied by the thrust piston 23 and the weight of the tractor is projected into the backhoe bucket until it is full. Scraping is then terminated and the full bucket is off loaded to the side of the trench.
It is understood from the foregoing description that the scraper of the present invention provides several important benefits over a simple backhoe tractor bucket system. Using the cutting capabilities of the described apparatus, which can include carbide tool cutting teeth, soil and any encountered rocks or hardpan can be broken up. Presently, if hardpan or rocks are encountered, and the backhoe bucket is unable to break these materials loose, larger equipment is required for further trenching. Larger equipment results in an immediate cost increase and might not even be usable if the work area is limited in size. The only other solution has been to bring in manual labor to break up the rock or hardpan. The cost in time and labor is clear. The present invention allows a single operator with the access capabilities of a backhoe tractor to complete the required trenching. Further, while landscape grading, hardpan is frequently encountered and a regular backhoe tractor bucket will skip over the hardened area. The present invention enables the backhoe operator to scrape the hardpan area into the desired contour.
Although FIG. 1 shows the revolving ground preparing elements or pins 3 and the backhoe cavity facing forward, this is illustrated for clarity and ease of illustration. The cavity, as indicated by number 25, may face rearwardly towards the boom and driver/operator of the apparatus. This latter orientation would be more in keeping a backhoe digging procedure.
However, it is important to note that the revolving ground preparing elements, such as blades 4, may take the form of a removable conical pins. The elements 4 break up the ground immediately ahead of the bucket scraper edge 24 so that the scraper can load the broken up soil directly into the cavity 25 of the bucket. The elements are powered so that hardpan soil is readily broken up into chunks during a scraper procedure so that the edge 24 immediately follows to pick up the chunks for deposit into the cavity 25. Therefore, separate runs of the apparatus over the ground is not required as is encountered in conventional procedures.
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects and, therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.
